Are the parts usually attacked by rheuma tism;
and the joints at the knees. ankles, hips and
wrists are also sometimes affected. The cause Of
rheumatism is Tactic acid circulating with the
blood which attacks the joints and causes the To-

disease. Hoods Sarsaparilla purihes and enrich
es the blood, and has proven wonderful remedy

REMARKABLE CASE,
Two Boys Convicted of a Murder of
Which They Were Innocent.

Two Boys Convicted of Murder of
Which They Were Innocent.
MILWAUKEE, January 25th.-Three years
ago next May, Mahlon Mccullough and
William PuelZ, two BOYS connected with
some of the leading families of Bay View,
were sent to the Sfate prison for three years
for having hot and robbed August Groethe,
a street car driver To-day Father Decker
pastor of st. Anthony's Church, announced
that the boys are innocent, and that the
guilty man has made himself known to
him through the confessional. He refuses,
however, to divulge the name Of the latter
but has asked Governor Rusk to pardon
Puez and Mccullough. The assault on
Groeihe was made on a dark night in the
suburbs of this city, in true highwayman
style. Groethe refused to surrender his
change box, and was shot. it was supposed
fatally. At the sight of The bleeding body
Mrs. Groethe became raving maniac and
is HOW confined in an asylum. At the trial
detectives testified that the BOYS confessed
their psrt in TIE attack and robbery. Puetz
aud Mccullough swore that The confession
was forced from them; that for ten days
they were beaten, starved, hung up by the
thumbs. and otherwise i'll treated, and that
they confessed to escape starvation. Tweuty
Witnesses testified to an alibi, but they were
convicted. Mccullough is said to be dying
from consumption.

sociaIistic Teachings.

1t is the easiest thing in the world to de-
nounce capitalists, and to advance social
istic teachings. Psuedo- political econo-
mists are running wild in proposing vision
ary systems of economics which would
war on capitalists and subyert legitimate
enterprises. One writer would classify all
industries into three: First, industries
that return minimum income; second,
medium income: and, third, maximum
income. Then be would regulate these by
taxation. For instance: he would tax the
industry which returns maximum it,
come down 20 the msGium. That is,
he would virtually coBii.cate part
to restore the .qulibrirm between
the two. This reminds one OF The fable of
the Two cats qrarreling over two pieces of
cheese 10 see which should have the larger.
monkey proposed TO adjust the difficulty
by weighing in "A pair OF scales. To make
the pieces equal he first bites Off piece of
the larger, which makes it too small then
he bites of piece OF the other, and that
is then too small. He proceeded in this
way until he had eaten the two pieces OF
cheese. This is the system this economist
would adopt in leyeliIg down and mp the
different incomes of the three classes Of IN
GustrieS. Thus the State would absorb the
profits of the industries which could not
be in this way continued, but would be-
come bankrupt from over-taxatioD.
Still another writer wOpld have 1.-THE
railways reduced to complete subjection to
as as their masters"
Masters was good word in time of
slavery. bnt now. in this use, il has become
obsolete. Such language is sanctioned and
cEeered by the Communists. II is Just as
wrong to con!scate the property of ii rail.
way as TO confiscate theproperty of a wage
worker. Railways have tights; so have
capitalists. Regulation of railways does
not mean conhscatiOn as some writers indi-

1t is contrary to the 2enias OF our insti-
tutions to have one system of taxation for
capitalists and another for the wage-work-
ers. The self imposed drink practice is
the vampire that fans with its wings u por-
tion Of the wage-workeTs.
Nearly all of the mllionaires of today
